Chapter 516


    Shannon began to tremble as she watched Micah lying in a pool of his own blood.


    Her eyes were fixed on his bleeding arms while destion inundated her.


    She instinctually shot a flying dart toward him earlier because she couldn''t bear watching him disable


    his own arm.


    If she hadn''t injured his right arm, forcing him to let go of the dagger, his left arm would probably have


    been crippled by then. This man and his methods frighten me. No wonder people are afraid of him.


    “You can''t let him lie in the rain any longer, Shannon. He clearly hit a major artery when he stabbed


    himself earlier. If his bleeding isn''t staunched soon, he''ll die,” Ivy urged.

    Shannon immediately snapped out of her senses and bent over, trying to help Micah up.


    However, her wounds hadn''t fully recovered yet, so she failed to do so.


    Ivy then turned toward the bodyguards nking them, shouting “What are you guys looking at? Go and


    help her right now!”


    Meanwhile, at Shelbert Condominium, Bailey was sitting on a couch inside the study and narrowing her


    eyes at Veikko. With a frown, she inquired, “You''re saying someone intentionally incited the conflict?”


    Nodding, he informed, “That''s right. Both factions had been staying out of each other''s way due to


    orders from their respective leaders. Even if there were a major conflict, they wouldn''t just start a fight.


    Yet, this time, Tarragonunched a vengeful assault simply because one of their agents was


    identally harmed by a member of the Saviors. Someone''s definitely trying to start a fight between


    the two organizations.”


    Bailey''s frown deepened. It doesn''t seem like this conflict was incited to start a war between the two


    organizations. It''s more like... No, that''s impossible. No one in both organizations knows about our


    rtionship. Why would anyone be using this opportunity to separate us? I must be overthinking it.


    Then, she requested, “Can you visit Gregan, Veikko? You must find out what exactly happened.


    Artemis and I can''t risk exposing our identities, so neither of us can go. You''re the only one who can.”


    “Sure.” Veikko nodded. “Dexter''s in Gregan right now, so I''m assuming Artemis asked him to


    investigate the matter. When the timees, I''ll contact and work with him to catch the mastermind


    behind this matter.”


    “Okay.”


    As Veikko expected, Artemis did contact Dexter.


    It made sense, considering Holden was busy dealing with matters in Zaewora, and Micah was out of


    Dexter for help.


    “You must uncover the mystery behind the conflict in Gregan, Dexter. I want to know if someone


    intentionally caused it to happen or if it was because of an ident,” Artemis ordered.


    “Don''t worry, Artemis. You''re my buddy, and Bailey''s my friend. Since this matter involves the both of


    you, I''ll do my best to unearth the truth,” Dexter assured.


    “Good.”


    During the afternoon, Veikko departed from Hallsbay and headed to Gregan on a ne.


    Not long after the flight was underway, he noticed something odd.


    “Who asked you to follow me?” He frigidly glowered at a flight attendant in a professional outfit.


    Caridee flinched and replied timidly, “I-I want to have fun in Gregan. Since you''re heading there, I


    thought I coulde with you. Don''t be so petty. I''m Bailey''s sister-inw, after all. It''s no big deal for


    me to hitch a ride on your private ne, right?”


    In response, he looked outside the window. The ne''s high up in the sky right now. If I throw her


    down, she''ll definitely turn into mush.


    “Should I ask the pilot to turn around, or do you want to take a parachute down?”


    Shaking her head vehemently, she pleaded, “No, no, no. I don''t want to go back to Hallsbay. Please let


    me go to Gregan with you.”


    Veikko''s countenance tensed up as he said, “I''m going there to take care of a dangerous, bloody


    business. The heiress of a rich family like you shouldn''t join me.”


    He then turned to his bodyguards who were standing nearby. “Strap a parachute to her and push her


    off the ne.”


    Upon hearing that, she trembled in terror. “I-I have a fear of heights. A-And I have heart disease. I-I...”


    “Push her off the ne.”


    “Viekko!” She raised her voice and gritted her teeth. “If you do that, I''ll vent all my anger on Bailey. I''m


    sure you don''t want me to annoy her, especially now that she''s pregnant.”


    Viekko remained silent.


    Seeing that, Caridee shoved the two bodyguards aside and sat down across from him. Resting her chin


    on her hands, she smiled. “I''m an unruly and willful princess. Even Bailey has no idea how to deal with


    me, so what can you do?”


    Still, he didn''t utter a single word.


    “Just let me tag along in secret and behold what the underworld is like. If you fulfill this request of mine,


    I won''t bother you anymore. What do you say?”


    Heh, who''s to say what''ll happen in the future? Even if I shamelessly cling to him, there''s nothing he


    can do about it!


    Back in Shelbert Condominium, when Bailey learned that Caridee had run away with Veikko, she felt


    an impending headache. “I know you''re doing this on purpose, Zayron. You knew she was going to


    leave Hallsbay, yet you didn''t tell me.”
